I packages and froze a bunch, made some YUMMY banan crumb muffins (see previous posts), and STILL had a bunch to use...so I thought, why not make some baby food?!
There really isn't anything more frugal than making your own baby food. Baby food even with coupons is SO EXPENSIVE!
You can get a LOT for your buck AND know EXACTLY what is in the food.
Here <- is a list of some homemade baby food recipes.
Obviously I'm not going to be making food a la cart. HOLY WORK! So, the best way that I found was to puree the bananas, then use a ice cube tray to divide , freeze and store baby food.
I found that lining the ice cube tray was best to easily remove the frozen food.
That way I can take one cube at a time out of the freezer to use. My first mistake was not ripping off enought suran wrap to do this so be sure that you do!
I put the puree in the tray and stuck it in the feezer.
On a side note, you could also put the puree in freezer pop molds (can be purchased from Tupperware FOUND HERE <---) and make some natural banana freezer pops.
If you can vacuum seal the bags, it would even be better, I don't have that luxery- BUT I have a bunch of portioned, organic and FRUGAL baby food!
Baby food can be kept up to 6 months in the freezer.
I hope you found this helpful!
Yum! I loved making baby food for my kiddos. Gabe even liked it and would help.
